Deployed in Australia, Burundi, Ethiopia, France, Lebanon, Jordan and the United States, up to 230,000 users have now access to an Ideas Box and its contents. At the same time, design thinking workshops organized in India, the Philippines, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Spain and England gathered more than a 100 participants in order to hack the Ideas Box concept.
